Oof. County-owned but State-maintained gets very messy...

Counties in West Virginia own no roads. County routes are owned and maintained by WVDOH.
There are a small handful of county-owned bridges, but counties are responsible for maintaining those themselves and they are exceedingly rare. I'm not even sure if there are any current examples remaining. The last one I was aware of, on Sabraton Avenue in Morgantown, was taken over by the state as a county route when the bridge was replaced about 10 years ago.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

I've noticed that many of the old "delta" routes in the western/southwestern part of the state are now signed as HARP routes.

- I'll have to post photos in the next few days, but the Wellsburg Bridge looks awful. The bottom half of the bridge is a nice deep brown color but the upper half is a light brown with splotches of dark brown patches.
- While flying over the Blennerhassett Island Bridge (US 50) between Ohio and Parkersburg, WV, Thursday evening, I spied a significant fuel slick and was able to trace out its origin. I called the Ohio EPA's emergency line and got a reply within minutes. I sent them my images and they were able to get a crew out there the next day. I also gave the company who owned the dock a heads up and they were indifferent to the spill and told me to call back the next day. They didn't seem too thrilled when I did call back the next day, saying I should have notified them first.
- The Memorial Bridge in Parkersburg looks very nice now that the rehab work has wrapped up. It's now pay-by-plate or EZ-Pass; no toll booths remain.
